This Women's Day Celebrate Womanhood by donating sanitary pads to tribal girls

28% of Girls miss school during periods, To tackle this problem, last year, more than 2 lakh sanitary pads were distributed in two phases in government schools across Maharashtra. Here are the names of some of those schools -ZP School Maljipada (Naigaon), ZP School Rajavali (Naigaon), ZP School Kolhi (Bhiwandi Road), ZP School Chinchoti (Bhiwandi Road), ZP School (Kaman) and ZP School- Urdu Medium (Kaman). Child Help Foundation teams also conducted advocacy sessions on menstrual hygiene.

There has been an increase in the attendance rates of teenage girls in these schools since pads were given to them. This year, we are hoping to even more raise sanitary pads to be able to reach more girls across the state. Please support us in this campaign and help us in keeping more girls in school. 

Through our Sanitation Support Programmes, CHF has facilitated the construction of separate toilets for boys and girls in government schools across India. We noticed a significant increase in enrollment rates. However, this was not enough, considering the sheer magnitude of poverty in India, ensuring an adequate supply of sanitary pads was equally important. 

Donatekart helped CHF in raising sanitary napkins. Also, Happy Nari by collaborating with CHF has set up Sanitary Napkin Vending Machine for tribal teenage girls and women in the predominantly tribal areas of Jawhar Taluka, Maharashtra.
